Aug 8 Thursday.

Aug 8 Thursday.

Laura dictated letters (to Karl)— Korda, Sabater. I went to sea (about 15 Catalans). Cloudy & hot. Then to village for morning post:
half James' proofs2 from Sabater, which I checked. Remainder by afternoon post. Went over my checks in
Troy
with Laura discussing, chiefly, Menelaus's spare spear, and what became of it. Laura finally stuck it butt–spiked into the ground.
